information systems with the aim of encouraging the exchange of ideas and
experience between these two communities. It will provide an international
forum for the presentation of an overview of the most recent trends in these
two active research fields, and a common starting-point to tackle the most
pressing research problems and to address long-term research issues.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
Natural language and speech interfaces
Multimodal and multilingual interfaces
Adaptive and personalized interfaces
HLT for information system design
HLT for conceptual modeling
HLT for requirements engineering
HLT for information retrieval and filtering
HLT for the WWW and the Semantic Web
HLT for mobile applications
HLT for digital libraries
HLT for education systems
HLT for e-business and e-government
Terminology and ontologies

- Call For Papers and Applications
RIAO'2004
Coupling Approaches, Coupling Media and Coupling Languages for
Information Retrieval
University of Avignon (Vaucluse), France
April 26th-28th, 2004
http://www.riao.org
Organized by:
CENTRE DE HAUTES ETUDES INTERNATIONALES D'INFORMATIQUE DOCUMENTAIRE
(C.I.D., France)
in cooperation with the LIA (Laboratoire d'Informatique d'Avignon -
Université d'Avignon)
and with technical support of IRIT (Institut de Recherche en
Informatique de Toulouse)
CALL FOR PAPERS
Current content-based information management involves many different
disciplines. Information must be retrieved from video, from sound, and
from images and graphs. Question answering involves both syntax and
semantics.
Information classification and filtering involve machine learning and
linguistics. In addition, as information technology spreads throughout
the world, a wider variety of languages in increasingly complex
combinations must be handled.
In response to these evolving needs, RIAO'2004 calls for papers
covering the coupling of techniques from different domains to improve
information retrieval. RIAO'2004 will present innovative research and
developments from all areas of multi-media and multi-language
information retrieval. Submissions, demonstrating combination of
techniques from disparate domains, may treat retrieval from either a
single medium, or across media (indexing one medium for find
information in another), or from coupling unstructured and structured
information (e.g. exploiting both text and XML structure), or from
across languages.
Conference Themes:
Paper submissions should cover one or more of the following themes:
Multimedia information:
* Media-specific indexing techniques (text, speech, fixed and
animated images, music)
* Indexing composite documents
* Querying multimedia documents
* Automatically generating text from images and from video
* Indexing interactive documents
Multilingual Information:
* Cross-lingual information retrieval, especially involving
rarer languages
* Automatic construction of bilingual lexicons and term banks
* Production of multilingual documents
Man Machine Combinations:
* Coupling search and browsing
* Coupling search and semantic mapping (ontologies, SOM, etc)
* Multimodal interfaces
* Coupling access through structure and through content
* Automatic presentation of search aids (e.g. key words, phrases)
* Neuroscience applied to information recognition
Architecture for Combined Approaches:
* Architecture for coupling techniques (e.g. Machine Learning for
Content Management)
* Architecture for coupling media
* Architecture for treating multilingual information
Specific Systems Combining Diverse Approaches:
* Systems for Collaborative Information Retrieval
* Question answering systems
* Multidocument or multilingual summarization
* Automatic translation, translation memory
Combining Linguistic and Statistics for Retrieving Content:
* Improved linguistic analyzers in information retrieval
* Exploiting linguistic knowledge in search and retrieval
* Knowledge Extraction for Information Retrieval
* Semantics in indexation and retrieval
Composite Documents and Content:
* Exploiting document structure
* Semantic Web, and Ontologies for Full-Scale Information Retrieval
* Exploiting new multimedia norms for content-based information
management
Evaluation of Combined Approaches:
* User oriented retrieval metrics
* New retrieval metrics
* Question-Answering systems evaluation metrics
Application domains combining techniques:
(descriptions of systems involving the following domains):
* Cultural heritage
* Indexation and retrieval of medical images
* Applications concerning security
* Protection of intellectual property
* Protection of minors
* E-learning
* Technology Watch

First call for papers: October 1, 2003
Deadline for paper submission: December 15, 2003
Notification of acceptance of papers: January 31, 2004
Camera-ready copies due: March 8, 2004
Conference dates: April 26-28, 2004
Submissions should be up to 6000 words (about 20 pages, double
spaced), include an abstract and be submitted in PDF or PS format.
Submissions for communications will be made electronically on its web
site : http://www.riao.org.
The working language of the conference is English. However, in
agreement with the French regulations of the "Loi Toubon", submission
of papers in French and presentation of papers, if selected, in French
will be accepted.
CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
Innovative applications and products related to the conference topics
are sought for demonstrations during the three days of the Conference.
They will be selected by the international Application committee, on
the basis of their innovation and future or present marketability.
Selected applications will be given free demonstrations spaces.
Application submissions should cover one or more of the following
topics:
* Multimedia indexing and retrieval systems (text, sound, speech,
images, video)
* Cross-lingual indexing and retrieval systems
* Peer-to-peer text search engines
* Cooperative Information Retrieval (grids)
* Automatic XML structuring of documents
* Automatic metadata generation for text, sound, and images,
automatic annotators
* Automated ontology construction and annotators
* Topic detection and event detection in streaming documents,
technology watch, strategy watch
* Intelligent message filtering
* Intelligent text agents
* Parent control and anti-spam control by content filtering
* E-learning - response interpretation
* Document summarisation -- mono or multilingal, mono or
multidocument, profile driven
* Topic maps
* Domain-specific application of information retrieval and
multimedia retrieval: medicine, e-commerce, computer-assisted
teaching, video production, etc
Important dates:
First call for applications: October 1, 2003
Deadline for application submission: January 31, 2004
